Lin Yiren smiled at the corner of his lips, leaned over to pick up the sugar box, and opened it gently. This is the glutinous rice candy that he and Lin Ziyan often eat when they were children, with delicate appearances and different colors, and it looks extremely beautiful, but since the death of his father, Lin Yiren has never eaten it.

"Don't eat a good meal...... Lin Yiren sighed and lifted the corner of the veil, and was about to put the sugar box back next to Gu Xiaofan's pillow, but unexpectedly found that Gu Xiaofan was looking at him sleepily.

"Woke you up?" said Lin Yiren smiled.

"Brother Shen steals my candy. Gu Xiaofan said vaguely.

"You like to eat, Brother Shen will buy it for you later. Lin Yiren said softly.

"...... back," Gu Xiaofan yawned, "If Brother Shen can't see me, will he miss me?"

Lin Yiren's heart was gloomy for a while.

"Go to bed early. Lin Yiren gently lowered the veil, "No matter where you are in the future, Brother Shen can find it, if you like to eat or play, Brother Shen will send someone to send you over." ”

"Good. Gu Xiaofan responded obediently.

"I've been stuffy in the house recently, it seems that the weather will be good tomorrow, do you want to go out for a walk with Brother Shen?" Lin Yiren looked at the veil quietly.

"Yes. Gu Xiaofan said softly.

"What do you want for breakfast?" said Lin Yi.

There was a moment of silence in the cloud silk tent, "Winter dates." ”

"What else?"

"Ginger and honey soup. ”

"Good. The corners of Lin Yiren's lips raised slightly, "Then Brother Shen left first." ”

"More honey. Gu Xiao said.

"Got it. Lin Yiren smiled and walked outside.

"Brother Shen," Lin Yiren hadn't yet reached the door, and Gu Xiaofan's voice came from the bed again, "You ...... before Did you go to see Ah Xu?"

Lin Yi was stunned, "He was in a hurry, saying that he was going to leave Xiao'an for a while." ”

"Ah Xu...... Is he okay?" Gu Xiaofan's calm tone made Lin Yiren secretly a little surprised.

"It's fine. Lin Yiren turned around and looked at the beauty, "The plum blossom on the table is the one he asked me to bring you." ”

The cloud silk tent was slowly lifted, and Gu Xiaofan got up and sat half-sitting, his eyes staying on the red plum for a long time.

Looking at the thin pale cheeks and somewhat empty eyes, Lin Yiren's heart swelled with an indescribable bitterness. Between Yanxu and Gu Xiaofan, there is a memory that only belongs to the two of them, in that period of childhood sweethearts, Yanxu is everything to Gu Xiaofan, she can't forget him, because forgetting him is equivalent to erasing her sixteen years.

"Don't worry," Lin Yiren lowered his eyes slowly, "at most two months, he will return to Xiao'an." ”

The candles were faint, and the room was silent.

"Brother Shen, what kind of official is the squire of the Ministry of Works?" Gu Xiaofan suddenly murmured.

Lin Yiren's eyebrows jumped, the current waiter of the Ministry of Industry is Lin Ziyan's maternal uncle Lu Tinghe's nephew Lu Sinian.

"The wife and sister of the Ministry of Works, isn't this status quite high?" Gu Xiaofan said again.

"Little fan," Lin Yiren walked to the bed, his eyes flashing with an elite color, "What did the fifth prince say to you today?"

"It has nothing to do with the Fifth Prince, I want him to help me go to Linsang to find Jian Jingran......" Gu Xiaofan curled up his legs and put his chin on his knees, "The Fifth Prince said, Jian Jingran has a prominent family background, and his great-grandmother will never let a lowly Jianghu woman marry into the mansion, so she gave me the identity of a wife and sister of a waiter in the Ministry of Works." ”

Jian Jingran? Gu Xiaofan actually planned to marry Jian Jingran? And in order to promote this, Lin Ziyan even came up with a ridiculous way to improve Gu Xiaofan's identity through the Lu Mansion? No wonder Lin Ziyan was in a good mood when he left the Xuan Palace, and he thought that he could get rid of Gu Xiaofan as he wished, so that his mother had one less thing to worry about.

"What nonsense!" Lin Yiren's face sank.

Although letting Gu Xiaofan marry Jian Jingran was something that Lin Yiren was secretly thinking about, but now he suddenly said it from Gu Xiaofan's mouth, which really caught him off guard.

"Brother Shen also thinks I'm not worthy of Jian Jingran?" Gu Xiaofan looked up at Lin Yiren.

"Little fan," Lin Yiren sighed, "The affairs in the court are very complicated, the emperor does not want the Jian Mansion to have anything to do with the royal family or ministers, and Lu Sinian, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is also a relative of the emperor, how dare the Jian Mansion let Jian Jingran marry the wife and sister of the squire of the Ministry of Works?"

"So, is it not okay?" Gu Xiaofan seemed to be a little disappointed.

"Do you really want to marry Jian Jingran?" said Lin Yiren with a frown.

"Well," Gu Xiaofan nodded, "Brother Shen thinks Jian Jingran is not good?"

"What about your senior brother?" Lin Yiren's heart suddenly rose with an unbearable irritability, "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to marry him in the first place?"

"Brother Shen," Gu Xiaofan put his chin on his knee again, "Do you know why I only eat fruits and vegetables?"

Over the years, why did Gu Xiaofan only eat fruits and vegetables? This is the answer that Lin Yi people have always wanted to know.

"Because ......" Gu Xiaofan's voice seemed to be a little distant, "after Daddy passed away...... I can't eat anything but sweetness. ”

I can't eat anything but sweetness...... I can't eat anything but sweetness...... Lin Yi's figure shook slightly, and there was a roar in his ears.

But why can't she taste the sweetness of chestnut cakes, yam cakes, and peach blossom cakes? Why does she eat only fruits and sweet soups with strong flavor?

Lin Yiren still remembers that in the Luoyin Tea Shop in Xiangxue, the chestnut cake he asked the teahouse steward to send was handed over to the beggar by Gu Xiaofan on the side of the road; in the Lotus Lotus Pavilion of Qiuyi Villa, he put the yam cake in Gu Xiaofan's saucer, and Gu Xiaofan did not touch it from beginning to end; in Xiao'an's first string of buildings, he saw Gu Xiaofan put the peach blossom cake into his arms, but in the end, he learned from Yanxu's mouth that she did not eat the peach blossom cake until it became moldy.

"Little fan," Lin Yiren squatted beside the bed, "you can eat sweet glutinous rice candy, chestnut cake, yam cake, peach blossom cake...... It doesn't taste in your mouth, does it?"

"Brother Shen......" Gu Xiaofan's cheeks slid down tears, this was a secret that even Ah Xu didn't know, and she didn't mention this matter to anyone.

"Little Fan ......" Lin Yiren's voice choked, and wiped away Gu Xiaofan's tears with his fingertips.

Every day, with a heartless smile, he uses lies to cover up his inner fragility and helplessness, and tastes loneliness and loneliness alone in dark nights, and the bitter life seems to never end.

"In Lingguan Town, there are two peach trees, which Daddy planted for me, but before the peaches can be born, Daddy will have no ......" Gu Xiaofan seemed to be a little tired, and slowly closed his eyes, "Over the years, Ah Xu must have been very bitter in his heart......"

Gu Xiaofan's voice became lower and lower, Lin Yiren was shocked, and hurriedly took Gu Xiaofan's vein, and the weak pulse once again made Lin Yiren feel heartache.
